At Speks, we believe that having fun and staying safe go together. Our products are crafted to provide adults with engaging, hands-on experiences that combine creativity, relaxation, and playful exploration. They are designed to stimulate focus, relieve stress, and encourage tactile interaction in ways that are both enjoyable and intentional. Alongside this focus on enjoyment, we prioritize safety and clear guidance about how our items should be handled. While Speks products are safe for adult use when used properly, they are not designed for children and must always be kept out of reach to prevent accidental injury. Recognizing this distinction is critical to ensuring that these products remain a source of safe and satisfying entertainment.
Magnets, particularly the powerful neodymium types used in Speks, demand careful handling. When used as intended by adults, they are harmless and engaging. However, if magnets are swallowed or inhaled—especially by children—they can cause severe and life-threatening injuries. Ingested magnets can attract each other inside the body, potentially pinching or trapping tissue. This can lead to internal perforations, blockages, infections, and other serious complications. In many cases, these injuries are not immediately obvious, delaying treatment and increasing risk. Because of these dangers, any incident involving ingested magnets should be treated as a medical emergency requiring prompt attention, sometimes including surgical intervention.
Speks products are intended strictly for adult use and should never be given to children or left in areas where children might access them. Even brief exposure, momentary distractions, or lapses in supervision can put children at risk. Children are naturally curious and may not understand the potential hazards posed by small magnetic pieces that can be swallowed or inhaled. This risk extends to older children as well, emphasizing the importance of keeping magnets out of reach at all times.
Adults using Speks are encouraged to be mindful of their surroundings and to store products securely when not in use. Ensuring that all pieces are accounted for after play reduces the risk of accidental exposure to children or pets. Being aware of where and how the products are used supports safe handling and helps prevent unintentional hazards.
In addition to ingestion risks, strong magnets can cause injuries if misused. They may snap together quickly, potentially pinching skin or damaging nearby objects. Handling them carefully, keeping fingers clear during play, and avoiding use near sensitive electronics, medical devices, or magnetic storage media are all important safety precautions. Following these guidelines ensures that the products are used in appropriate environments and remain safe for adults to enjoy.
Safety awareness does not diminish the fun of using Speks; rather, it enhances the experience by allowing adults to play confidently and responsibly. By following clear instructions and handling products with care, users can fully benefit from the stress-relieving, creative, and engaging aspects that make Speks unique.
We encourage all customers to familiarize themselves with these safety guidelines and share them with anyone who may encounter Speks products. In the event that magnets are swallowed or inhaled, seeking immediate medical care is crucial.
At Speks, our responsibility extends beyond creating innovative, enjoyable products. By using them thoughtfully and keeping safety top of mind, adults can continue to enjoy the tactile fun and creative satisfaction Speks provides, while minimizing risks and ensuring that children are never exposed to the hazards posed by strong magnets.
